See detailed descriptions in the Guidelines & Resources.*we are allowing mat only work to be hung on the wall, but you must bring it with the hang tabs already installed.

The fate of 2026

We’re looking for someone or a few people this year to learn what April does for 97116 since she’ll be taking a break from producing art shows in 2026. Do you think you could handle any of the categories listed on our Volunteer Must Haves?
On that note, we will need to find a venue for 2026 since the Cawein will no longer be able to meet our reception needs after this year. Keep it in the back of your mind for mid-2026 if you know someone who owns vacant commercial spaces in Forest Grove, preferably near downtown. We try to start getting a commitment mid summer.

Have a business that wants to be involved?

All Forest Grove businesses are welcome to submit to the site FREE. You may list your special events occurring in the week surrounding the show, or just plug your product or services.

  • No fee to list
  • Submit a post yourself using our form
  • Multiples allowed if separate deals / events


Poster sponsors need to reach out before October 15th – $50 for logo on the show poster and limited to 5 total businesses. Email April at 97116artshow@gmail.com

Immediate Needs:
  • List the event on local calendars
  • Add the Call to Artists to art groups on Facebook
  • Start building the Sign Up Genius for volunteerism
Optional wishlist coming up:

Coordinate with April if you’re willing to do any of this so we’re not duplicating effort, please.


Thank you, Sue Bliss for volunteering to do the formal press release!

My apologies for previously having incorrect information on the website and the Facebook event.

Below are the archived emails from 2024

November 7, 2024

Hello, artists!

If you think you missed previous emails, you can find them here: https://www.97116artshow.com/artist-correspondence/

Here’s a whole bunch of information, some of it repeated from the last email. Visit that link above if you don’t know your artist number.

Maximum Quantities

  • [5] Exhibited pieces $150 each or less (2D hung 12″ x 12″ or smaller and/or 3D tabled at 12″ x 12″ x 12″ or smaller including frames & bases)
  • [3] Matted or board-backed bin work at 16″ x 20″ or smaller and $150 each or less – must have plastic protective sleeves.
  • [10] Cards at $10 each or less – okay to label with one sticker each, must have name, artist #, and price. Should also have plastic protection to avoid fingerprints, but not required if you don’t have the sleeves. If it’s a greeting card, you should include the envelope for the patron. Cards can be duplicates from last year, but fresh is better.

Didn’t Make Five Exhibit Pieces? – Creation date doesn’t matter, but work does have to fit size requirements and be new to the 97116 Art Show.

Labels (x 2 this year PLUS Fill out the Inventory) Use either this Word or PDF documents for labels. Just use your best handwriting if the fillable PDF fields don’t work for you. If your work is too small for affixing, securely tape it to a hang tag. Bin work needs labels too, but cards may have a sticker with artist name, artist number, and price. If there is room, you may also secure a business card to the back or bottom of your work or in sleeves of cards, etc.

Follow Display guidelines, this year 2D can be wired or attached via Command Strips that YOU provide.

Inventory prior to delivery: Every artist needs to fill out accurate inventory for each piece, plus have usual labels. This is for sales and the gallery-covered insurance once installation is complete and approved. You must list each display piece, card, and bin piece separately. The deadline for this is just before you drop your work, so do it before you bring work and make sure it matches what you bring.

Artwork Drop Dates / Times: (firm, okay to send someone with your work)

Deliver everything at the same time.

  • Friday Nov 8, 6:30 – 8:30PM

Hello, Artists!
It’s wonderful to see so many familiar names, thank you for making us one of your community art shows each year. Newcomers, welcome! We hope your experience with the show keeps you coming back.
The end of this email will contain your VERY import artist number. It needs to be on every label / sticker, including each card. This is how we sell your artwork. Parents of April’s students, if you need assistance in readying for the show, talk to me.

The second most important thing is your inventory.

Inventory: Every artist needs to fill out accurate inventory for each piece, plus have usual labels. This is for sales and the gallery-covered insurance once installation is complete and approved. You must list each display piece, card, and bin piece separately. The deadline for this is just before you drop your work, so do it before you bring work and make sure it matches what you bring.

Labels (x 2 this year PLUS Fill out the Inventory) Use either this Word or PDF documents for labels. Just use your best handwriting if the fillable PDF fields don’t work for you. If your work is too small for affixing, securely tape it to a hang tag. Bin work needs labels too, but cards may have a sticker with artist name, artist number, and price. If there is room, you may also secure a business card to the back or bottom of your work.

Drop Artwork: (firm, okay to send someone with your work)

Deliver everything at the same time.

Display: For 2D work you have a choice between secure wiring or Command Strips ~ if the work is flush and light enough. See detailed descriptions in the Guidelines & Resources.

Marketing: We’ll rely on a lot of word of mouth and social media sharing since the Oktoberfest fundraiser was a bust. If you post a work that’ll be in the show, please tag @97116ARTSHOW so we can promote you too.

Pick Up Slip: When you drop your work, your pick up slip will be made and left for unsold artwork, so all of your work, bin work, and cards need to be delivered at the same time.

Payouts: By Dec 7th for opening weekend sales, by Dec 31st for subsequent sales

Pick Up Unsold Work: Sunday Dec. 8th 12pm – 4pm only, okay to send someone

Reminders:

– 12”x12” framed size max, or 12”x12”x12” for 3D including pedestal (depth & weight limits in Guidelines)

⁃ Maximum quantities:

  • display work = 5,

Despite what you may have heard, April and Emily are producing the 97116 Art Show again this year. 97116 artist and gallery director, Tyler Brumfield, reached out to ask if we’d be interested in exhibiting at the Kathrin Cawein Gallery at Pacific University. We said yes. After meeting with gallery coordinator and 97116 artist, Stevie Woods, we learned they hoped to exhibit longer than our show runs which means a few significant changes for 2024.
